There's no organized immigrant resistance to ICE. One of the most alarming things about these fash assholes playing military dress-up is that they're not doing it to arrest immigrants, they're armed up because they're expecting to fight American citizens... violently.
The idea that this kind of armed presence is necessary in Great Barrington - a quaint Berkshires town of artists, aging hippies, and retired dentists - is insane. These agents are dressed like paramilitaries, not police officers. www.berkshireeagle.com/breaking/ice...

The Hungarian government is about to pass a law that will allow it to destroy the tiny online outlets that represent the last vestiges of independent Hungarian press

Viktor Orbán’s crackdown on free press does not only affect Hungary. It affects all of Europe
The so-called “Transparency Law”, currently pending approval, significantly undermines freedom of expression in Hungary — and its impacts are unlikely stop at the country’s borders.

Tonight in amazing music: I'm a long-time fan of Norwegian jazz trumpeter Nils Peter Molvær. And I've been pushing everyone I know to listen to the Sweetheart, the best (Scandin)americana band you've never heard.
Here they are playing together. It's sublime.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack.
I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.
